I saw an infomercial for it (lol, i know...but sometimes they tell the truth don't they?) but what caught my ear as I was surfing by was that it has no detergents like <anything> laureth/laurel sulfate. That shit is in almost every commercially available shampoo out there and its' only purpose is to create lather because way back when some marketing puke convinced people that lather was a good thing. Detergent is there ONLY for appearances because people THINK they want lather. It does you no good and often harms your hair.

It was even worse when some shampoos used formaldehyde (Pert was one but I think they stopped doing that a long while ago).
